Hyundai vehicle fire risk recall: Why is Hyundai Motor recalling over 54,000 vehicles? Check model, key details

Hyundai vehicle fire risk recall has been issued. Hyundai Motor is recalling 54,337 vehicles in the U.S. over a fire risk linked to the overheating ‌of ⁠hybrid power ⁠control unit, the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said on Wednesday.





The latest recall covers ​certain 2024-2026 ⁠Elantra Hybrid vehicles. Overheating in ​the ​hybrid power control ⁠unit under high electrical loads can ​cause affected vehicles ​to fail to start or enter reduced-power mode, the auto regulator said.




In some ‌cases, the overheating could lead to ​localized thermal ​damage to ⁠the assembly and internal components, the agency added. Dealers will ​update the affected software free of charge, NHTSA said.




Earlier in May, Ford is recalling 179,698 ​vehicles in the U.S. ‌due to a loose bolt in ​the front seat ​frame, the U.S. National ⁠Highway Traffic Safety ​Administration (NHTSA) said on ​Friday. The recall includes certain 2024-2026 Ranger and Bronco vehicles.




A ​seat with ​a dislodged bolt may not ‌properly ⁠restrain an occupant in a crash, NHTSA said. Dealers will ​inspect and ​replace ⁠the pivot links and bolts ​as necessary ​at ⁠no extra cost, the regulator said.




Also in May, Tesla recalled 218,868 vehicles ​in the U.S. due to ‌delayed rearview camera images that could increase the risk of ​a crash, the National ​Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said. The regulator said the ​rearview camera display in affected ​vehicles may be delayed when the car is put into reverse, reducing ​driver visibility. The recall covers ​certain Model 3, Model Y, Model ‌S, ⁠and Model X vehicles, it said.




Tesla has released an over-the-air software update to address ​the issue.




Last ​month, ⁠the NHTSA closed a probe into about 2.6 million ​Tesla vehicles over a ​feature ⁠that allowed cars to be moved remotely, after finding ⁠it ​was linked only ​to low-speed incidents.
